► Eating a lot of Brussels sprouts and other cruciferous veggies may help protect against cancers of the stomach, lungs, kidneys, breast, bladder, and prostate. Crunchy veggies like Brussels sprouts may also help you stave off other health issues, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, and diabetes.
The Brussels sprout is a member of the Gemmifera cultivar group of cabbages, grown for its edible buds. The leaf vegetables are typically 1.5-4.0 cm in diameter and resemble miniature cabbages. The Brussels sprout has long been popular in Brussels, Belgium, from which it gained its name. Wikipedia.
Brussels sprouts look like baby cabbages not because they are baby cabbages, but because they're part of the same family. With cabbages, we eat the head that grows out of the ground. Brussels sprouts, on the other hand, are buds that grow along the length of a thick, fibrous stalk.
There are more than 110 different varieties of Brussels sprouts available, as well as the Flower Sprout, a sprout/kale hybrid that contains double the vitamins B6 and C of a traditional sprout.
Choose Brussels sprouts that feel tightly compacted and hard when squeezed. Choose bright green heads that are similar in size. Smaller sprouts tend to taste sweeter, while larger sprouts taste more cabbage-like. Untrimmed Sprouts are just as good as trimmed ones, and both should keep for several weeks refrigerated.
